Charlie
Price thinks he has finally
escaped the dead-end
industrial town of
Northampton with ambitious
fiancée Nicola, when his
father suddenly passes away,
leaving Charlie unexpectedly
in charge of the sinking
family business in sturdy
shoes. Trapped between a
world of cheap knock-offs
and to-die-for Jimmy Choos,
Price & Sons seemingly
doesn't need a manager so
much as it needs a savior.
With mounting dread, Charlie
soon realizes that to even
stay afloat he's going to
have to lay off many of his
dad's loyal, life-long
employees. Then, one dark
night in Soho, Charlie is
literally smacked in the
face with an idea that could
bring the factory roaring
back to life. When Charlie
meets tough, tender Lola and
her teetering high heels,
everything changes. They
might come from completely
different walks of life, but
both men have reached a
point where they have
nothing to left to lose by
taking a risk. Deciding to
buck tradition and boring
loafers, Charlie sets out to
conquer the brave new world
of sexy cross-dressing
footwear, with Lola as his
fashion advisor. But it
isn't just the assembly line
that the disarming Lola
transforms. As the
make-or-break Milan fashion
show approaches, everyone in
the factory--from the macho
Don to the stalwart Mel to
Charlie's confidante
Lauren--finds the unlikely
dreams of Lola and Charlie
catching fire.
